Kellie Bode Makeup Artistry

Kellie is great at what she does! She is also so quick! Super nice and down to earth. Would recommend her!

I told my sister that I refused to have my makeup done for her wedding. I would do my own because I have had my fair share of experiences looking like a clown. I cannot stand when makeup artists say "you need to wear more for the photos" - I don't care about the photos! I want to look like me. My sister did three trials before finding Kellie. Oh my God. She exists! A realistic, knowledgeable, kind, professional does makeup in New Orleans. She did a fantastic job on the entire bridal party - and the bride looked like HERSELF and just absolutely gorgeous! It was a miracle. Kellie, we had so much fun with you on the wedding day. You made everyone calm, asked for honest feedback, and you were willing to do anything to get it right. I am in the wedding industry and see dozens of brides come through and it is very hard to get it right. Book Kellie right away! xox

Kellie was an absolute pleasure to have as my makeup artist! She has such a great personality and made my wedding day extra fun and special. She not only did make up for me and my bridesmaids, but also made my mother and aunt looks gorgeous as well. I am so thankful to have had her and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kellie was absolutely amazing! As a first time bride and and first time getting my makeup done professionally, I couldn’t have felt any prettier. She did a wonderful job with a natural and beautiful look! I got nervous that she wouldn’t have enough time for 9 of us but when I tell you she whipped us out in the time she allotted from the beginning and it made me want to recommend her for anyone! She made all of us look stunning on my wedding day and I highly recommend Kellie for the future! Her personality is just as charming as well. She is an overall joy to work with!

I have never had my makeup done as beautifully as when Kellie did it for my trial and wedding day. I had a specific idea of how I wanted to look, and she absolutely nailed it. My makeup looked glowy and natural, and it stayed that way through the entire celebration (which may have gone until the next morning). Kellie is also a breath of fresh air — fun, upbeat, and positive — and exactly the kind of person a bride needs around on her wedding day. Some of my girls worked with her assistant, Sam, who also did a beautiful job. I would absolutely recommend hiring Kellie. ❤️

Kellie did a great job for me and my whole wedding party. Neither me nor my mom wear much makeup day-to-day, but Kellie made us both feel so comfortable and beautiful! She was on time, upbeat and fun to be around. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Kellie and her team did such an amazing job on my bridesmaids and my make up! She’s so confident and is a master of her craft! She also taught us some great tips and make up tricks! Everyone’s make up looked flawless and I could not recommend her enough! Will be calling her again when I need my make up done!

Kellie is AMAZING!! If you are looking for your wedding make up artist, look no further! Kellie is 100% the best in the business!! She did my makeup for my engagement photos, bridals, and my wedding day. I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life! Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is so much fun!! We had a blast getting ready on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough!! ❤️

Kellie did our entire bridal party (I’m groom’s mom). My makeup was spectacular; everyone’s was! I felt beautiful, so much so that I booked a consult with her afterward and have continued the techniques she’s taught me on a daily basis. My daughter-in-law’s (bride) makeup was flawless. Everyone’s makeup lasted the entire time. Kellie is extremely talented as well as professional and fairly priced. She is flexible in accommodating each client in the bridal party, as prep can be rather chaotic, and she is quick, pleasant and fun. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Seriously y’all, book this girl! If you want a hype girl for your day of getting ready, Kellie is amazing! From the moment she walked in, she was fun, personable, making my day and all my girls feel fabulous! She was simply the best and easiest to work with! All of our make up was flawless and lasted the night! She was quick and efficient at getting us all done but never rushing anyone! I will book her again for any event I need! Can’t say enough at how fantastic she was!!!

Kellie is awesome! She is very upbeat and sweet! I was not sure how I wanted my makeup done for my wedding, so for my trial makeup, Kellie made me look flawless and it lasted all day long. My husband had to do a kleenex test to make sure my makeup would not rub off. Let's just say Kellie passed the test with flying colors "A+ 💯 ". My husband was so taken back when he saw me on our wedding day. He said "Kellie did an amazing job". I would recommend Kellie to all my girl friends!

Kellie is the best!! She makes me feel beautiful every time she does my makeup and it always lasts! Everyone gave me so many compliments during my wedding weekend saying that my makeup was perfectly flawless. Kellie also has such an infectious personality and fun energy.

Kellie is phenomenal. Her skills are on point. I was a little apprehensive on getting my makeup done professionally because I am meticulous and I just knew I was going to be less than impressed, that is until I found Kellie Bode!! I found her on the knot and by reading the other reviews I knew I loved her work and her as a person before I even met her. When meeting with her for my trial run the day of my rehearsal dinner, she and I talked non stop (I’m not normally talkative to new people) and I was shocked when she said she was finished. When I looked in the mirror, I could not believe that was me. I’m pretty sure I said WOW!! My wedding day was a different story, I knew my friends were going to be very specific on how they wanted their makeup and Kellie rocked their wishes. I’m very thankful for her professionalism and her personable demeanor. Kellie you are incredible and thank you again!

Kellie is absolutely amazing! She understood my vision and accomplished exactly what I wanted. Not only did I feel like a true vision on the day of my wedding so did all of my bridesmaids. Our makeup was absolutely perfect and lasted the entire night! She is so much fun to work with, she honestly feels like she is one of your best friends! I highly recommend Kellie, and hope to have her do my makeup again in the future!

Kelli is a dream to work with. She’s punctual, hilarious and does incredible work. All my bridesmaids looked SO gorgeous and I felt like my absolute prettiest self for the big day. Kelli came recommended by a friend and one of my other friends has already hired her for her wedding in August 2022. She’s the best and you won’t regret it!

My original makeup artist became sick the day of our wedding so the company arranged for Kellie to step in letting me know that she was an incredible artist. Despite being nervous with the switch, Kellie was an absolute rock star to work with. So friendly and fun. All of my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG looked gorgeous - we were so happy and thankful for Kellie!

I worked with Kelly for my rehearsal dinner and wedding, including my bridesmaids, and there is no one better! From start to finish, Kelly was professional and conversational (e.g., hilarious, making everyone comfortable and feeling like they had known her forever), and makeup was one thing I never had to worry about in terms of coordinating logistics! I knew Kelly would be there on time and ready to go with a great attitude. I am so thrilled she was a part of our weekend and can't wait to use her again for future events!

Kellie has done my make-up for my baby shower and wedding. She did amazing both times .. and the make up lasts throughout the whole day and night! She is so easy to talk to, and she brightens up the room with her fun personality. She made my experiences great and will definitely use her again!

Kellie is the BEST! There aren't enough words for how great she is at her craft, how wonderful of a person she is, and how thankful I am to have found her! From the moment I first met her to do a makeup trial it felt like we'd known each other for years. She instantly made me feel so comfortable and she is so easy to work with. All she had to do was take a quick look at a reference photo I showed her and she was able to recreate exactly what I wanted. On the day of my wedding she did makeup for me, my 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and my MIL and everyone looked perfect. She also did my MIL's mom as a last minute addition and was so sweet about it. Kellie makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world inside and out and that made all the difference for me on my wedding day. I was stressed about a lot of things that day but I knew I was in good hands with Kellie. Book her immediately!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Kellie is! She did the makeup for my wedding for me (bride), my mom, and a few of my bridesmaids. The makeup was absolutely stunning on all of us! Couldn’t have asked for it to look any more beautiful. And it looked amazing all day - I had a day wedding and it literally lasted all day and night. Kellie was also amazing because she was an absolute joy to be around. She was literally the sweetest person ever! And she made the day so much fun! If you don’t book Kellie to do the makeup for your wedding, you are truly missing out!

Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to cover Kellie’s work. She did makeup for my bridal party for an outdoor May wedding and everyone looked gorgeous all night! Kellie does flawless work that lasts through all the sweat and happy tears of a wedding. The only thing better than her skill set is her personality. I felt like I was hanging out with a friend all morning. I’d choose Kellie again in a heartbeat!

Loved working with Kellie! She was so spot on with my make up and everyone else’s. My make up lasted through all the happy tears from that special day. She was so fun to work with and all the ladies came out beautifully! They did 14 of us with no issues and everyone was done on time! Highly recommend her!

I first met Kellie at my sister-in-law’s wedding and absolutely fell in love with her!! Not only is she ridiculously talent, but she is the absolute sweetest. I knew that one day I would have to book her for my own wedding. When that day came for me, Kellie was actually one of the first people that I contacted and booked. She made me feel so special on my wedding day. The makeup that she applied was flawless and stayed on throughout the afternoon of photos and the evening ceremony. She also made each of my bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law look fabulous! I honestly wish I could give her more stars! Love her so much and will definitely continue to ask her to do my makeup for events in the future.

Kellie is the best!! She did my makeup for my boudoir photoshoot and absolutely killed it. Kellie is easy going and full of life. She does the perfect amount of makeup and knows how to make anyone look naturally like their best self. I would recommend her a hundred times over for any occasion!

Kellie recently did my makeup for my wedding last week and did an incredible job. First of all, I sought Kellie out extremely last minute--as in a week before my wedding--and she still made every effort to make time for me on my wedding day. It is very clear that she cares about her clients and will make sure to attend to each of their needs. Professionally, Kellie is extremely reliable and efficient, but also takes her time and is patient with indecisive people like myself! I am always nervous about getting my makeup done, and I'm very particular about how I want it to look, but Kellie did it perfectly. I went for a more light/natural look and maybe showed her 2 -3 pictures of what I liked the day of my wedding, and she made me look even better than the pictures! She is able to use enough makeup to completely enhance your look and make you look perfect/flawless, without making it look fake, caked on, or too heavy. Also, the makeup STICKS the whole time. After 2 crying sessions the makeup was still there. I only had to touch up later in the night after much more crying and dancing. Aside from her amazing work, she is SO FUN and amazing to be around. I was very nervous and jittery the day of my wedding, and Kellie is the exact type of person you'd want to be around. She is so sweet and kind-hearted, and very genuine, it felt like I had known her forever. All in all, I would highly recommend Kellie! Amazing!

Kellie was absolutely AMAZING in literally every way possible! She is super fun and bubbly and will calm any nerves you have during your wedding day! Her work is so so so so good. She is so easy going and can figure out how to make you look beautiful! She is so good at her job and she comes with many years of experience. All of my girls and my mom looked beyond flawless and beautiful and very natural. No need to look any further, book Kellie ASAP!!!!

OHHHH where do I even begin? Covid Year: 2020. I have to give you the full background! I originally booked Kellie for my April 3rd 2020 (invites were already mailed out-no biggie right-lol), BU, covid had other plans and postponed our wedding till August 22, 2020. Let me tell you, Kellie calmed me, made me laugh, assured me that she would be there for whatever future date I would choose, AND she stood by her word. This woman has morals and values, I appreciate that! Now onto Kellie’s work. How many adjectives can I use to describe Kellie? Dependable, adaptable, ambitious, skilled, knowledgeable, passionate, and AMAZING. From the moment you meet her, you feel at ease, she’s so easy going, calming, organized, has the most gorgeous smile and flawless skin. My 3 rescued furry children (dogs) even loved her. She’s not just a good person, a good human, but is literally the best makeup artist out there. She not only did an incredible job with my makeup (I’m picky) - where I looked absolutely flawless, but also my 71-year-old mother and bridesmaid’s makeup. Everyone looked STUNNING, and no I’m not just saying that, I’m blunt, direct, and honest, they all looked breathtakingly beautiful. So, when I say look no further, I mean it. But if you need to see for yourself, do a trial run, but I guarantee you’ll book her.

Kellie is amazing! She did an incredible job on all of my bridesmaids, mother in law and my mother. She was so much fun to have with us on this exciting day! My make up was PERFECT! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen.

We loved Kellie! She did a phenomenal job with our make up! She was very professional and brought so much joy to our wedding day. She made me feel very pretty and did the makeup exactly how I asked. Very happy we chose her for our wedding day makeup!

I cannot say enough good things about Kellie!! She has been doing my makeup for every special event in my life since high school, so of course she had to do the makeup for my wedding! My fiance and I had to reschedule our wedding 3 times, and Kellie was always super accommodating and quick to respond! Kellie makes me feel and look like a queen, and I can't wait to work with her again! Although we did a small ceremony this past weekend, we will be doing another large ceremony next year and I can't wait to rock my glittery eyes again! She is truly a part of our family! THE BEST!

Kellie did my bridesmaids’, mother’s, and grandmother’s makeup for my wedding, and they received compliments all night long. She was so personable, provided a warm, environment even though she was at our house, and kept the mood light and fun. Her beautician skills are impressive, but even more than that, her personality is one to make any bride feel calm and at peace on her wedding day. With her, it feels like catching up with a friend. I loved her so much that I had her do my makeup for a Mardi Gras ball, which lasted all night long. She even went out of her way to a second location to do my mother’s make up. Would recommend Kellie to anyone looking for a professional and natural experience.

Kellie and her team worked wonders on the bridal party, the mother of the bride, and me (the bride!) The looks were perfect for our wedding vibe- light, polished, soft, natural, and cohesive. Kellie and her team not only listened to everyone’s unique desires for make up and executed them perfectly, they also were professional and kept us laughing while working their magic. We would 100% recommend Kellie Bode and her team for any make up needs!

My daughter chose Kellie for her engagement pictures and for her wedding. All the bridesmaids were very pleased and the group looked stunning! She’s the best! She has the best make up, great colors and textures, and tons of experience. Her own make up is always done flawlessly and she is just beautiful!

Kellie is wonderful! Booked her based on a recommendation from a friend for my wedding. She was extremely easy to work with and responsive leading up to the wedding. All the bridesmaids were happy with their makeup and looked beautiful. She is also super nice and fun which helps on a day that can sometimes be stressful! Would definitely recommend!

Kellie did an amazing job on all of our makeup for my best friends wedding. She was so down to earth and worked very quickly to get all of the girls done. I highly recommend her for any makeup needs you may have!!!

Kellie is just FANTASTIC! Myself and all my ladies looked fabulous and not overdone (like I've seen some makeup artists do). She kept us laughing and worked quickly. Very highly recommend her for any makeup needs you may have. Love her!!!

If you want to feel beautiful on your wedding day I HIGHLY recommend Kellie Bode! She was professional, easy to work with, and very talented! Me and my bridesmaids were very happy with her work!

Kellie is amazing! She had done my makeup for two weddings that I was in so I already knew how great she was when I booked her for my own wedding. We had so much fun with her in the bridal suite! She’s hilarious and bubbly and is so fun to be around. Of course, my makeup, and my bridesmaids’ and the mothers’ makeup, looked absolutely beautiful. I got compliments on my makeup all night. Kellie is the best!!!!

Kellie is fantastic! She is truly a makeup artist- and is very skilled at her craft! Her warm personality shines through the moment you sit down in her chair. She makes you feel right at home and special. I have a pretty severe skin allergy to a common makeup ingredient, and it’s hard for me to get my makeup professionally done. To be honest, I’ve only had it done one other time. Kellie made me feel at ease and was accommodating and sensitive to my allergy. The result was a face I felt confident in (not worried my eyes would swell shut due to the allergy) and excited to show off. Her ability to apply fake lashes is nothing short of magical! Do yourself a favor and book Kellie for a stress free, fun and beautiful makeup experience!

Kellie I dont know what I would have done with her!! I appreciate everything she did going above and beyond to make all the ladies feel comfortable and beautiful. From the great mothers to the younger girl, she worked with all ages and made everyone look stunning. Her professional and passion for makeup and people is so refreshing. She made what could have been a successful day, fun and enjoyable. Her talent speaks for itself. Her heart is bonus.. If you want to look your best, hire the best. Kellie Bode Makeup was flawless.

Kellie is simply THE BEST. I think I talked to 5-6 make-up artists/salons when planning my wedding and I just kept coming back to Kellie's portfolio. Seriously - pinch me. I still can't believe she was available for my wedding! She was so personable, informative and easy to work with before our event. Then she arrived at our get-ready location and was so fun to talk to and laugh with! Kellie did my look (the bride), the MOB and and our entire bridal party. We wanted a glam, but not trying to hard sort of vibe, and she nailed it. All of us looked our best and the makeup lasted throughout lots of dance floor shenanigans and even a drizzly second line. Y'all - my makeup barely lasts through my workday sometimes - so this was absolute magic. I need for one of you brides out there to adopt my bridesmaids and I into your party, just so we can have an excuse to work with Kellie again :)

Kellie did our whole bridal party’s makeup and did a fantastic job! My eyes are green and she made them POP like never before. I also had major breakouts the week of the wedding and she concealed them brilliantly. As a bonus, she is friendly, hilarious, and was a blast to hang out with! I highly recommend.

I photographed a wedding that Kellie did the hair and makeup for in New Orleans on May 19th of this year. Kellie is super professional, polite, and is a top notch make up and hair artist! You'd be missing out not hiring this girl!

Kellie is wonderful to work with and her artistry is amazing! Not only did she do my makeup and several of my bridesmaids’ makeup flawlessly, she also took the time to help my Nana with a few of her makeup details when none of us could. All of our makeup looked beautiful the whole night and I have Kellie to thank for that!

Kellie is the best! She has done the makeup for both mine and my sister’s wedding and both time has gotten rave reviews from all the bridesmaids she’s done! Everyone always looks gorgeous, and she’s also a blast to hang out with!
